Clotho

Aims & Scope

Named after the youngest of the Parcae, Clotho got its name after the deity responsible for spinning the thread of life; thus, the journal seeks to create a new space of creativity, exploration and learning in the field of classical studies. Wilamowitz famously defined classical scholarship “by its subject-matter – Graeco-Roman civilization in its essence and in every facet of its existence.” Following in those footsteps, Clotho welcomes exploring the Greek and Latin languages – lexicography, grammar, and the broader issues of linguistics. It seeks to investigate the traditional fields of classical studies, literature, textual criticism, rhetoric, philosophy, and history, as well as archaeology, numismatics, epigraphy, papyrology, and paleography. Above all, the journal is committed to the idea of interdisciplinarity. As such, it accepts antiquity-related contributions from the spheres of art, music, science, religion, and law, as well as the classical tradition and classical reception, history of classical scholarship, and, last but foremost, translation.
